Description
UCAS Code: V5R1
Examine your own beliefs and put them to the test as you investigate the views of some of the most important thinkers in the history of Western thought.
Philosophy involves being open to new and different responses to familiar and unfamiliar questions. If you ever find yourself thinking about big questions beyond everyday experience - questions that may never have a single, final answer - then you would probably enjoy studying philosophy.
We explore how philosophy is important to real-world concerns and contemporary issues by:
- drawing on films and artworks in our lectures
- discussing important scientific developments
- debating controversial ethical issues
- looking at how texts written three hundred years ago can be relevant to political situations today
You will be encouraged to make links between philosophy and other disciplines, such as politics, literature, film, the environment, psychology, and computer science. Specialist modules and independent study options will help you to explore philosophically the topics of special interest to you.
